CHICAGO (AP) — The Tribune Company, owner of newspapers including The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Tribune, along with the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field, said Monday that it lost $121.6 million in the third quarter as newspaper advertising revenue fell.

The company, which is privately held, had net income in the comparable quarter a year earlier of $152.8 million. Revenue fell 10.5 percent, to $1.04 billion, from $1.16 billion a year ago, the company said.

Who in their right mind would read this rag ever again

Time to start writing and calling the remaining advertisers and tell them you will boycott them for the smears the newspapers engaged in against Palin and the journalistic malpractice displayed this election season.

Let’s break these f***ers.

I would love to see these lefty hacks get laid off and jobless after what they did to such a fine person as Sarah Palin, and how they cheerled for a hoodlum like Zer0bama.

The MSM is destroying itself by failing in its duties as the Fourth Estate.

I still think a newsroom populated by educated, grown-up Americans could be successful. But none seems to exist.

The Dems already own the media.

I like your way of thinking. How do we start a movement to do this? Who are the advertisers? I would love to see them tumble down stairs like a slinky out of control.

Whenever I need a laugh I re-watch those YouTube videos of Sam Zell giving his uppity reporter and terminally stupid upper-management type holy hell.
